I has been over two decades since Nintendo’s last movie attempt, but word on the street has new Super Mario Bros. movie coming
This time around it’ll be an animated film, from studio that is behind the Minions and Shrek films – Universal Animation Along with Illumination Entertainment
That’s according to a new Wall Street Journal report, which claims both Nintendo and the folks at Illumination Entertainment and Universal are close to signing on the dotted line.
The late great Bob Hoskins starred in the live action 993 Super Mario Bros. film
A partnership with Universal makes sense – Nintendo has already inked a deal to open a Super Nintendo World in three Universal Studios theme parks, with rides featuring franchises such as Donkey Kong and Mario Kart currently being built.
The first of these theme park areas is expected to open at Universal Studios in Osaka in time for Japan to host the 2020 Olympic Games.
